If you prefer, you can complete the Way by boat at another time, as you wish. You always have the option of renting a boat, hiring a captain or sailing yourself. If you want to receive the “Compostela” (accreditation that you have completed the Way of St James), you will have to sail 100 nautical miles and walk the final kilometres on foot to receive the final stamp at the Monte do Gozo. You will find interesting fishing villages such as Cudillero, San Vicente de la Barquera and Bermeo among the ports where you will stop.Another way to sail part of the Camino de Santiago is the sea route of Arousa and the Ulla river. This route by catamaran commemorates the voyage bringing the body of St James the Apostle to Galicia. The boat leaves from O Grove, a town known for its seafood, and arrives at Padrón.
